The ORCV Offshore Championship (Perry Fletcher Clipper Trophy) is awarded to the owner-skipper of the best-performed yacht in the Unrestricted Monohull Division determined using measurement handicap results. Yachts in this Division may be sailed fully crewed, 4+ auto helm or double-handed.
The Offshore Championship incorporates both Coastal (category 3) and Offshore (category 2) race results with a minimum number of Category 2 races. Championship points are calculated on a weight-high point system.
Those who race double-handed are automatically entered in both the Double Handed Offshore Championship and Offshore Championship.
